GeoDirectory: MultiRatings and Reviews 2.3.2
Description
GeoDirectory MultiRatings and Reviews is a WordPress plugin that helps you turn your site into a professional reviews directory. It lets visitors rate each business with an overall score, then refine that assessment using multiple rating criteria. This solves the common problem of one-size-fits-all feedback by making ratings flexible for different categories.
With a dedicated reviews and ratings manager, you can collect structured user feedback, encourage participation, and improve clarity for site visitors. The plugin supports photo uploads to illustrate reviews and includes like/dislike voting to help highlight the most helpful opinions.
If you use the GeoDirectory Custom Post Types add-on, you can configure rating and review behavior across post types and their categories, keeping your directory organized as your content grows.
